120 looks beter with every game that passes.

.500 is going to look like a pennant title this year for my A’s

The Giants are on track for 120 losses, with Barry Zippo grabbing at least 20 for himself, to go along with an ERA somehere north of 7.00. Nice work, big guy. Ya’ fouled yourself again, go take a clorox shower. Give back the money and quit the game, and we’ll all be better off for it. Instead we’ll hear obfuscations like “I really pitched well, felt like it was coming together, next time I’ll work it out, just a few tweaks here and there…” That’s what you said LAST YEAR, dumbass. You need some new excuses this season…

Wow, this may be one of the worst teams I have ever seen in any sport at any time. Not even competitive most days, including this depressing day.

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:58:59 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/giants/2008/04/04/weekend-series-giants-vs-brewers/#comment-191484Gary D – Thanks for the Shemp Bochy idea, think I’ll use it, especially after yesterday. 1st and 3rd no outs; Lewis up; count is 2 and 1; Ortmeier on 3rd, Bocock on 1st; having already stolen 2 bases apiece earlier, but does Bochy have Bocock running to put the tying run in scoring position (a great idea considering the chances of a Giant getting more than a single are very slim); NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not too long after (3 and 1 count) Bocock gets picked off and the rest is history.

Look young players will make mistakes. I can deal with that (as opposed to Ray Durham being thrown out trying to tag up from 1st to 2nd). But with a team that can’t hit at all at least take advantage of what you have, which is very fast young players. Bocock, Ortmeier, Velez and Davis could steal you anywhere from 20 to 70 bases given the chance. Put pressure on the defense. Oh what the hell am I wasting my breath for. I’ll be looking at patchwork mediocrities like Aurilia, Durham, Castillo, Wynn and Roberts for the next 10 years.

Nice work, Brian– I really love what you’ve done with the team. I can’t wait for tomorrow when your “Face of the Franchise” craps his pants AGAIN, assuring a series sweep in Sausageville.

He predicted Molina’s clutch dinger would be with the Giants down by at least 9 runs.

“Mostly, the Giants were left to admire Brewers starter Carlos Villanueva, who originally came through the San Francisco organization but went to Milwaukee in the 2004 trade that netted pitcher Wayne Franklin. There is a story here in Cheeseland that when the Brewers asked for Villanueva in the deal, Giants general manager Brian Sabean did not know who he was.”
